A sturdy serif with pronounced flaring where stems meet serifs, creating a carved, sculptural feel rather than flat terminals. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with softly triangular joins that thicken into the ends. Counters are round and generous, while curves and diagonals carry subtle modulation that stays visually even across the set. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, and lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey “a” and “g”, plus compact, robust punctuation-like dots on “i/j”. Numerals are heavy and legible with clear silhouettes and consistent end treatment.
Best suited to display sizes where its flared details and bracketed serifs can be appreciated—headlines, decks, and book-cover titling. It can also support editorial branding and short-form text in print-like contexts when a strong, traditional voice is desired, especially for magazines, cultural institutions, and heritage-themed materials.
The overall tone is traditional and weighty, suggesting established credibility and a classic print sensibility. Its flared finishing gives it a slightly calligraphic, old-style dignity without feeling delicate. The texture in paragraphs reads dark and assertive, suitable for voices that need gravitas and presence.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif conventions with a more sculpted, flared stroke ending, delivering a confident, historically rooted look with high impact. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent finishing details to maintain clarity and authority in prominent typographic roles.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and a fairly tight, solid typographic color, with distinctive flare at stroke endings that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Round letters like O/Q read particularly full, and the Q’s tail is prominent and characteristic, adding a touch of personality within an otherwise restrained, classic framework.
